“That was better than the normal stuff I do in these sessions.” ​Words of a young person in #York. Often described as hard to engage, they sat through the entire session delivered by YJS workers we trained using our WRONG LOOK, WRONG TIME, WRONG PLACE (#WLWTWP) resource

I spoke to BBC Radio Leeds about tackling violence against women and girls, and how, with my Deputy Mayor for Policing Crime, Alison Lowe, we’re turning lived experience into action. Our #JustDont campaign is calling on men and boys to be allies for safer streets.

There have been many suggestions this morning in the media regarding why young people are using knives. Unfortunately the complexity & layers that are feeding into this public health crisis are complex, & issues outside are now being imported into our schools.Upskilling school staff is just one way.
